Solution

Dear Student,

Density of sea water is more than the fresh water this is because of the presence of the salt in sea water. When we add water into sea water it easily get mixed in sea water this is because that the material are same in the same state of matter and salt can dissolve in water. Therefore only salt concentration changes in the solution.
